“Jenny has been an amazing dogsitter for us. We have started using her every time we go out of town. Our 3 dogs have very different personalities. One is old, one is a very large puppy, and the third doesn't love to play with other dogs. Despite their differences, she has been able to manage them seemlessly. She is caring and truly loves our dogs. She sent lots of pictures so we could se how cuddled and happy they were. I would highly recommend Jenny's services.”
“Maia had a great time with Truman. She had 3 walks a day and was excited to see him when he returned. He was very reliable and communicated with us well. We will definitely board her again with him!”

“Tatiana had the best time with Tarah! Great communication, she took her on lots of adventures and made sure everyone felt comfortable! Grateful Tati had so much fun while we were away!”


“Dean was great to work with and an excellent communicator. We got updates throughout the visit, including beautiful walk photos with the mountains in the back. Anytime we’re back in telluride with Robin we would love to have Dean watch her again!”

“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”

“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”

“Courtney and her two pups took great care of Hamish. She asked questions about what was best for him, sent me updates and pictures, and when I picked up my dog, I could tell that he was really well cared for. Thank you, Courtney”

“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”

“Tom did a great job taking care of our pup Moog. He regularly sent updates and efficiently communicated with us. We would highly recommend Tom to watch your pet and we will use him again!”

“Sarah looked after our Scotties for a weekend and they came home very happy. Communication was great and Sarah was very caring with the pups. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again when we are in the area (if Sarah would take them. Scotties can be difficult! Lol)”

“Nichole is a wonderful sitter!! We boarded our white Golden Retriever, Kodiak with her while we were at Wanderlust Squaw and got wonderful photos back from her! It was like leaving your dog with a professional photographer. Some of the photos we got back we are framing:) She is a kind and patient sitter and you can tell she really LOVES dogs. She also has a white Golden Retriever ("English Cream") and the two pups got along famously! We'll be using her services again if we are up that way!!”

“Jackson made us wish we lived in Durango! He was not only wonderful to Lucky, he was very kind to us! We would never take her anywhere else!! Thank you Jackson!! See you next go round!!.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs from small to big dogs and have stayed in a lot of homes and never had any issues. I'm working full time , so occasional drop ins to let them out and feed them when I can and then being able to stay the night will help my routine. I always try to keep my home clean and safe for all people and pets and leave my the house I'm staying in better than when I got there.
“Aliana did a great job. She met us in town for drop off and pick up which was super convenient. Kachina had lots of time to run around, Aliana sent us pictures and checked in throughout the weekend. Our girl was very happy and healthy when she returned. Highly recommend Aliana !”


“Bria is incredible! We hired her to help with a photoshoot (thanks again for helping us with an out of the box request!), and we are so thankful we did. It’s rare to get the chance to watch a sitter interact with your dog before trusting them, but Mia felt completely at ease with Bria from the moment they met. The constant wags said it all! Mia is a rescue and can be selective about the people she trusts, so seeing her instantly connect with Bria meant everything to us. Bria was calm, patient, and so kind with her. AND she knew exactly how to get her attention for the camera. I can’t recommend Bria highly enough. If you’re looking for someone in Telluride to care for your pup, look no further!”

“Bently had a great stay with Jack! Drop off and pick up were very smooth and I received lots of pictures. Bently had just started Prednisone and Jack gave him the medication and paid close attention to his well-being. Great communication and Bently would love to stay again if we're ever back in the area!”

About: I have experience taking care of my own cats and others since I was young. I am good with cats of all kinds and I find it incredibly important to respect their space and go at their pace. I've had great success with getting shy or aggressive cats to open up and become comfortable with me. I have never taken care of a hairless cat but I would love to meet one and learn the unique aspects of their care as well.
About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental overnight, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.
“This is the second time I have asked Suede to look after my two cats. She has always been responsive, accommodating, pleasant and diligent. I look forward to using her services again.”

About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of animals for the entirety of my life. I know telluride having lived here 10 years and would gladly explore the area with your pet. I for the most part am working only on weekends, thus, just about every weekday I am free to to work on rover. Telluride is home. I have a home with a small fenced in yard. No crate, nor do I want to care for a dog that needs to be in a crate.

“As a first-time Rover, Dean set the bar very high! Communication throughout the day was great, and he was accommodating when our plans changed as the day went on. Thank you for everything, Dean!”

“We were so happy to have found Jenny. My dog Freya and her pup Luna had a blast playing, napping and hanging out at Jenny's place. Jenny was responsive, communicative, and accommodating. Freya can't wait for her next doggie daycare or overnight! We highly recommend Jenny (and Luna) :-)”

About: I live right in town right across from town park. I work remote from home so I am around with your pets all day and/or have the flexibility to walk them whenever. I have years of experience volunteering in shelters and with rescues including volunteering and fostering at Telluride Humane Society. I live in the town of Telluride and when I’m not working, I’m hiking, biking, dirt biking or skiing! I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks up to senior dogs! I work remote from home so my schedule can be very flexible! I can tailor my schedule to the needs of you and/or your dog(s)! I live in a house in town with a small front and back yard. I’m a couple blocks from town park and the river trail. My house does have stairs but arraignments can be made to keep any pup on the ground floor!

“Kerrin was great and I highly recommend her. She was very flexible and responsive to Archie's needs and sent me pictures. Archie can be barky at a new place at first and Kerrin was very understanding. I could tell Archie had a great time as he just slept when we got home. Thanks, Kerrin”

About: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
“Our dogs seemed to like Jackson right away. He was very accommodating and willing to meet us at a convenient location. The dogs were just fine and happy when we picked them up.”

About: I'd love to give your pets the royal treatment while you are away! I have had dogs (and cats) all my life, and have cared for many breeds of all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I have also volunteered with a local animal shelter, spending several hours a week caring for sweet pets looking for homes. I dog and cat sit for friends and neighbors, and have recommendations if needed! I work remotely so I'm typically very available to take care of your furry ones! I'm very active and love taking dogs for walks, hikes or runs. I'm happy to follow whatever processes and instructions you provide for your loved furry ones! I am flexible and want your pups and kitties to be as happy and comfortable as possible!
“Sierra is amazing. Very reliable and friendly and great with animals. I would use her again and again ! I recommend her highly and you can have confidence knowing she is taking excellent care of your fur babies.”
